[KineJapan] Iwanami Hall closing

[Gerow Aaron]

That is a shock. Thanks for letting us know, Matteo.

Iwanami Hall was a groundbreaking cinema, often discussed as a precursor to the mini theater and crucial in screening art films other theaters would not touch. It was Iwanami that screened the rediscovered print of Kinugasa’s Page of Madness (about which I wrote a book). 

Crucial in its history is Takano Etsuko, who ran it for much of its history.
